Sometime around the middle of the war in Ukraine, various theories began to emerge suggesting that Poland would eventually do the same as Russia: start occupying Ukrainian territories. Raskrinkavanje has repeatedly refuted<\/a> such claims based on official responses from the Polish government, as well as the fact that Poland is a strong supporter of Ukraine in the war. Such narratives typically originated in Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we have not addressed these claims for a long time, it is time to do it again. However, this time the story about Poland is not related to Ukraine but to Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regional media and some social media users shared headlines such as: (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>, 4<\/a>, 5<\/a>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real European war begins: Military coup ready in Belarus \u2013 Poland will lead the army<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland is preparing for an armed coup in Belarus<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all started with the TV appearance of former Polish general Valdemar<\/em> <\/em>Skzypchak. His words were misinterpreted, and once again, we found ourselves reading inaccurate information portraying the Polish state negatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one TV show, Skzypchak said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let’s prepare for an uprising in Belarus because it will happen. The point is not to sleep through this moment…”<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skzypchak was talking<\/a> about how the situation in the war in Ukraine could quickly change and that in the event of a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive, Belarus would not be able to prevent a coup, and Russia could not count on it in that case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the former general never stated that Poland is making preparations for an armed coup in Belarus, nor did he suggest leading the army, let alone assert that a real European war is commencing, as alleged in those posts. It should be noted that these are just the words of a former military person and not the official stance of the Polish government<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disputed posts are rated as “Manipulation of facts.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Manipulation of Facts” rating of is given to a media report that uses known and accurate facts but interprets them in a deceptive manner. These reports generally employ accurate information to draw incorrect conclusions or claims, leading media consumers to draw conclusions that differ from the actual meaning of the presented facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
